For those who arent into the musical theater business, you have to understand how difficult these songs are. The musical score was already written obviously when original auditions for wicked happened, then idina comes in and absolutely smashes it to the point they changed the score to her key/octave so everyone after her would have to sing in that range. Hitting an E6 note and have it stable with no cracks and solid vibrato is a massive task. So u seeing these kids even attempting these songs is amazing. Not all of them are hitting an E6 but they are pretty close and do a great job. Defying gravity is obviously the most known song from wicked along with popular but i do feel that songs like dancing through life, and no good deed go underrated. All of these performers did a good job and huge amount of courage. I mean i wouldnt attempt defying gravity and i played rizzo in grease on broadway lol. I just want people who arent necessarily familiar with what it takes to be in a musical, let alone one like wicked, is giant and all of these people deseve major recognition
I have listened to multiple covers of the song, including Lea, Chris, and Amber on Glee. Cynthia Erivo is very good in the new film. No question that Beau was the best of these 5, but The Dark Hero was almost operatic. Idina Menzel set the standard.
many people reinterpret the song the original tone is not in E6, they actually readjusted it, but for a child it's normal, children always have higher pitched voices
I'm not in musical theater, but feel that I should have pursued Broadway in my youth. Now I'm too old, but I can still belt these songs all these years later. So who knows.. Maybe one day I'll try out for America's got talent. Maybe I can have my Susan Boyle moment after all. 😅
Wow no one is talking about number 2 and she is only 12! Her voice is so controlled. Like how can someone sing like that at that age?? Interpretation on point too
Her name is Beau Dermott, and I personally think she's better vocally than any cover I've heard. I prefer her to the one recorded Broadway performance I've heard. I need to hear more. Beau has gone on to perform other songs, and she's absolutely amazing. She's 21 now
The second one knew she was killing it. You could see it in her face and posture. All that confidence so young! I hope she has an incredible theater career. Even her mom looked at the host like I know y’all hear that crowd.
This is a Very True Fact: What makes Beau, father’s reaction so much more touching is the fact he’d just received a cancer diagnosis, but never told his family until after the BGT finale so as to not take away from his little girl’s moment. The cancer ended up being terminal, but he got to see his little girl shine, and you can it in his eyes that the emotions he shows is more than just fatherly pride.
this is my 1st time watching this but omg the first girl omg i literally could hear her all day, i love her!! i want her to audition for a role in the future !
It would’ve been so crack up but obviously horrible if Batman’s lines snapped in the air while he was singing defy gravity 😆, pummelling him flat on the ground 😂
Watching the 2nd girl sing, her facial expressions reminds me of watching Sarah Brightman. He voice is so polished that I wouldn't be surprised if she's had some vocal training. Definitely has a bright future ahead of she chooses to pursue singing as a career.
I love Beau's version so much when I first discovered it I've added it into my Spotify playlist. But holy molly... Olivia's version is stunning as well 🥹❤ and Simon as Elphaba got me rolling 🤣
The first girl was so cute and amazing, I'm glad Amanda pressed her golden buzzer. The second girl, Charlotte Church look alike and even sounds like her just wow omg ❤❤❤❤ Amanda did the golden buzzer for both of them 😍😍😍
Earlier today I was watching the AMERICAN IDOL auditions from WAY WAY WAAAAAAY BACK when Simon,Paula, and Randy were the judges. The episodes where Simon was a pompous ass, Paula on Vicodin, and Randy ran with the dog pound. Too see Simon slowly evolve into the Simon who's now father to Eric, calmer, still capable of being brutally honest at times but not the same pompous ass from his A.I. years. Bravo Simon....it took a while but you came around. ❤
Batmans was underrated and overlooked, it was different , it had humor cause batman can't fly 😂, and the deep voice being able to hit the notes was perfection for me.
Second one is the best sorry but she is better than the first one and all of them She is a broadway material Note/ second is the the same as the fourth one
True but at the end of the day, that’s the showstopper, the one that displays vocal range the most and is probably the hardest to nail. I think if you can nail Defying Gravity, you’ve got the show on lock
Flying gravity is my favorite song from wicked is the best. I never seen the movie yet, but I know all the songs not all of them, but I don’t know how much I know.

Both 1 and 2 are incredible. But wow number 2 . That voice was so mature. Amazing. Chills
That guy did Simon as Elphaba is absolutely marvelous!
Reallllll
I’m crying
Simon Cowell being a witch actually makes sense too.
I GOT GOOSE BUMPS WHIT THE FIRST ONE OMG
Same
SAME
Ikr! WHEN SHE HIT THAT HIGH NOTE I LITERALLY GOT GOOSEBUMPS RIGHT AWAY OMG
SAME!!!!!!
I know 😲
Wow no one is talking about number 2 and she is only 12! Her voice is so controlled. Like how can someone sing like that at that age?? Interpretation on point too
She is 11
@@Noah_tolit Not trying to be THAT person but I think you're thinking of the first one
Olivia is 11 and Beau is 12
@@LolaThewlis ohhhhh sorry didn’t see where he said number 2
Beau is 21 now. These clips aren't brand new.

I lost it with the Batman 😂
He sounds like dracula
Reminds of one of the "Justice League Unlimited" episodes, Kevin Conroy's Batman had to show his musical talents.
Me too lol 😂😂😂😂
@@laurenbendik2006nah beauty and the beast but the guy gustaw or some shit lol 😅
😂😂😂😂 I hate that he didn't speak his name
the batman: and nobody in all of Gotham, no joker that there is or was, is every gonna bring me down! FOR GOTHAM!!
Everyone saying how good the first one is (which it is really good) but the 2nd one is INCREDIBLE OMG. Literal goosebumps
the girls were all really good for different reasons, i don't know about Batman, the last guy has a really good voice.
The 4th one really. It's just the 2nd one with better visuals and stuff. Same girl.
The second one knew she was killing it. You could see it in her face and posture. All that confidence so young! I hope she has an incredible theater career. Even her mom looked at the host like I know y’all hear that crowd.
I was shocked at how deep and rich the second one was. Just a year older than first and voice sounds so much older.
REAL!!!!
Should be titled top 5 defying gravity covers on bgt
but wicked is more catchy
@@indysun Esp with the movie freshly released.
The 12 yr olr girl Beau was amazing and Batman killed it...Never thought I'd see Batman sing Defying Gravity but I'm here for it.
4:02 “I like her, same” was hilarious😂❤
Beau’s was the first audition I saw and will always stick with me. Incredible, she made it her own, and literal chills.
Agreed. I remember watching it for the first time when I was younger, and it's still the best version I've ever heard. Her voice is so powerful!
Agree❤😊 She had Lot of presence, not only voice.. and her voice is so mature
The first one got me bawling my eyes out 😭 beautiful
I think that Beau’s version is the best. She had such stage presence. Remarkable for someone so young at the time.
This is a Very True Fact:

Absolutely! Beau’s is the best!
THE FIRST ONE WITH THE RUBY SHOES I COULD SOB 😭😭😭😭😭😭 SHE WAS AMAZING
ruby shoes and the pink dress SO CUTE
Batman: “Nobody…is ever gonna bring me down”.
Actually the stage crew will have to.
I think Batman is the most impressive because he's literally flying while singing.
Like in the movie
I mean he IS a professional opera singer
😅😅😅😅😅
@@ItsMikeylol Yeah but Opera is not in English, Wicked is in English, so this sounded horrible.
@@ItsMikeylol lol like OPERA singing makes you good at English hahahahahahahahahahah.
🇫🇷 Pour la seconde fois, j’ai pris plaisir à écouter chanter cette petite fille. Quel talent ! ❤️
Lord… the first girl had me in TEARS! I completely broke down 🤣 So powerful ❤
The second one gave me chills
Batman needed to be In this. ❤
Beau has always been my favorite performance of Defying Gravity. She was brilliant. The look she gives after the last note. Amazing.
The second one definitely does musical theatre
Batman was incredible!
He must be an opera singer…he sounds like dracula tho to me lol
Amanda looks so much like Glinda in the first one wow!
One day, those kids at the beginning of this video will find themselves playing Elphaba on stage.
14:17 Superman flys Batman glides and has no super powers. Batman sings about flying.
I've never heard a Voice Like that on an 11-Year-Old in my Life, you came on Stage an you blew us away.
21:05 simon as a witch is something that will never leave my memory
THE FIRST ON EVEN GOT ME CRYING

Dude, girl number 2 is amazing!!!!!
#2!!!!!!!! All the way!!!! Beau Demont is INCREDIBLE ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ MAGICAL ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫💫💫💫💫
It's Dermott
Olivia and Beau absolutely smashed it. Both deserved the Golden Buzzer.
It would’ve been so crack up but obviously horrible if Batman’s lines snapped in the air while he was singing defy gravity 😆, pummelling him flat on the ground 😂

1&2 brought me to tears
3 Batman which was good in his own right
4 was very beautiful
5 collab with defying gravity in it
Numbee 2 . What a power
the tones, vibrato, and future as alphaba
The first one got me in tears… 🥹
Wow the second girl was amazing 👏
The last one was my fav performance because I couldn’t stop smiling 😂
I love Beau's version so much when I first discovered it I've added it into my Spotify playlist. But holy molly... Olivia's version is stunning as well 🥹❤ and Simon as Elphaba got me rolling 🤣
last one make my cry!!
Merry popin?! that perfect!!
“I wasn’t expecting that”
“How can you expect that”
Best quote ever😂🦇
I love the first one cuz after she finishes singing she acts like nothing happened 😂😂😂😂😂❤
1 is good but #2 has been the best. Imo since I've heard the song few years ago.
1:45 I started crying lol.
Same 😭
Number 1 was very movie musical and cute, number 2 was more a version from theatre; both were amazing!
Batman was so good😂😂
4:08 to the end of the song is absolutely world class
Wow number 2 was amazing. I didn't think it could get better than 1 but wow
Thanks for sharing! ❤
Number 5 was simply phenomenal. As good as number 1 was, it was forgotten as soon as Marsha Wallace’s “Tomorrow” started playing.
Number 2 is the best of 5 excellent auditions.
Never saw 2 such control ❤
The little girl on the second one 11:06
wow that 1st young girl was amazing!!!
The first girls facial expressions are so funny i cant- LMAO
The first girl was so cute and amazing, I'm glad Amanda pressed her golden buzzer. The second girl, Charlotte Church look alike and even sounds like her just wow omg ❤❤❤❤ Amanda did the golden buzzer for both of them 😍😍😍
Both first girls were amazing and I love Batman defying gravity
Amazing! I loved everything they did.Congrats!
The Batman Singer is Top Winner!. I love A.I of the Judges and 2 guys. Great.
Defying gravity, defying gravity, defying gravity, defying gravity aaaaand.. uhm. Defying gravity. Saved you the time 👌
I Love wicked and have been listing the music for eight years
My daughter did theater and she was Annie and several other characters that had hard songs, but amazingly she had the voice to make it work.
I've seen the second one before IT'S SO GOOD AAAAAA
first one made me cry, second one was amazing, third one just took me away! GO Batman!
The thumbnail😂💚
Wow the first girl was amazing ❤. X
They both are wonderful they have the range
Loved Olivia and Beau!!!
I love Beau. That's my girl 💜 The voice of an Angel 🪽
I need more!
Watching the family’s reaction always makes me cry.
1st one effortless, deserved golden buzzer, will go far!
2nd Great! Deserves to go through
BatMan - 🎉 Go on, Won me over
Second gal should audition for Elphaba role, when she reaches the age!
This is beautiful
I like so much the second girl

The random Mary Poppins song 💀
Batmans was underrated and overlooked, it was different , it had humor cause batman can't fly 😂, and the deep voice being able to hit the notes was perfection for me.
Beau has" it" she'll be a star for sure
First girl started off rough, but once she found her confidence she was amazing. The Batman one had to be staged; that routine was nuts.
Beaus is insanely good
Batman’s villain song.
Second one is the best sorry but she is better than the first one and all of them
She is a broadway material
Note/ second is the the same as the fourth one
BRUNO!!!! I watch dancing with the stars and I was shocked that he’s on here tooo😮😂
Congratulations to the winners! I'm watching High Potential and Ghosts.
BATMAN SINGS?!
1 amazing ❤❤❤
Amanda looks like Emma Frost in the first one
As much as I love idena Menzel this little girl moved me to tears
Batman can sing to me any time he wants. Whhoooo!!
I guess Amanda really likes that song lol
They do know there are other wicked songs right I mean defying gravity is good but there are others
True but at the end of the day, that’s the showstopper, the one that displays vocal range the most and is probably the hardest to nail. I think if you can nail Defying Gravity, you’ve got the show on lock

13:01 wait a minute... is that Batman... singing Defying Gravity?! what?! lol Very entertaining ha ha. well done.
13:27 he is so confused 😂😂😂
Well the second singer is ready for the stage and the fourth singer is very close
Flying gravity is my favorite song from wicked is the best. I never seen the movie yet, but I know all the songs not all of them, but I don’t know how much I know.
